Known primarily as a staple of American summer picnics for decades, Watermelon has become a traditional, summertime snack to refresh people across the globe. However, recent medical research as well as information posted at Health and Wellness portal BeWellBuzz.com, suggest new health benefits are attributed to several of the enzymes found in this refreshing and sweet summer treat.

The Watermelon has been an important part of the American culture for decades. Discovered as an edible fruit as far back as the mid-10th century AD, and introduced by Native Americans in the mid-1600, Watermelon is a vine-grown fruit that is comprised of 92 percent water, 6 percent sugar and 2 percent of other essential vitamins and enzymes. It is the 2% of the watermelon that has recently been linked to improving the immune system, increasing the male libido as well as potentially reducing the onset of atherosclerosis.

The Philippines Food and Nutrition Research Institute have determined that watermelon is rich in lycopene which is an antioxidant. These substances neutralize the highly reactive free radicals that react with tissues and cause damage. According to researcher AJ Edwards, consumption of watermelon juice increases plasma concentrations of lycopene and beta carotene. The study was carried out on healthy nonsmoking adults over specified periods of time. Beta carotene is the pigment or the coloring agent that is found in Vitamin A, which is a great support to the bodys defense system.

But the most shocking discovery was recently conducted by Dr. Bhimu Patil, the director of Texas A&Ms Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center which suggest that Watermelon helps boost the libido. “The more we study watermelons, the more we realize just how amazing a fruit it is in providing natural enhancers to the human body,” stated Dr. Patil. “The citrulline-arginine relationship helps heart health, the immune system and may prove to be very helpful for those who suffer from obesity and type 2 diabetes. Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it.”

Additional research conducted by Dr. Sibu Saha at the University of Kentucky by Dr Sibu Saha, watermelon juice helps to reduce atherosclerosis. A study with conducted with mice given a high cholesterol diet. After a specific period of time, one group was given watermelon juice and the control group was given water. The former group showed a decrease in weight due to loss of fat. This reduction in cholesterol in the plasma is related to the alleviation of atherosclerosis.

With additional health related studies being conducted, the introduction of Watermelon as a super food could be coming soon. For more information about ways Watermelon can help improve health as well as many common ailments, please click the link to the BeWellBuzz.com article posted below.

Loss of sexual desire is less common in men than it is in women. It occurs in about 15% of men compared to about 30% of women. But for those men who do have low libido it often bothers them more than it does women. Men’s feelings about themselves and their masculinity are very closely tied to their sexuality, says Dr. Daniel Watter, a specialist in treating sexual dysfunction and marital/relationship issues with The Morris Psychological Group in Parsippany, NJ, and decreased sex drive can be deeply unsettling. In one study, 46% of women with low libido reported overall satisfaction with their lives. Only half as many men 23% were happy with their lives in general when their interest in sex declined.

What constitutes low sex drive?

As with many human traits, sex drive varies widely. And even within successful committed relationships, there are times when there is a mismatch in interest between partners. The assessment of low sex drive is not based solely on frequency of sexual intimacy but on how the individual feels about it both before and after. If over a period of weeks or months a man does not look forward to and fantasize about sex with his partner, if the act does not foster feelings of closeness and intimacy and, most important, if either he or his partner is unhappy about his lack of interest, it is time to recognize and address the problem before it does serious damage to the relationship.

What can be done about loss of sexual desire? Tips for Action.

There is no single remedy for low libido, says Dr. Watter, but men don’t have to live with it. The first step toward a solution is to identify the cause of the problem for a given individual. Causes fall into three general categories: biological, emotional and relationship-based. Dr. Watter recommends these approaches:

1. See your doctor: A wide range of medical conditions and medications can adversely affect libido. Any serious illness is likely to reduce interest in sex and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension can reduce blood flow throughout the body, impeding arousal. Disorders of the thyroid and pituitary glands, which control hormone production, can also diminish libido. The drugs known as SSRIs, commonly prescribed for depression, affect sex drive as do some tranquilizers and blood pressure medications. Excessive use of alcohol and illicit drugs also dampen interest.

Testosterone is the hormone most closely linked to libido and low testosterone levels usually correlate to diminished sexual desire. Testosterone levels drop with age and some young men have low testosterone as well. But Dr. Watter is wary of widespread use of testosterone replacement. Some studies have shown an increased risk of heart disease with testosterone therapy, he says. It is important for men to discuss testosterone replacement with their medical doctors.

2. Reduce stress: Everyday worries about a job, finances, children and relationships can cause anxiety and diminished self-esteem, which can wreak havoc with the libido, says Dr. Watter. An honest effort by both partners to face the issue and make lifestyle adjustments may be all that’s needed. For more serious psychological disturbances, such as depressive disorders or a history of sexual abuse or a dysfunctional family environment, professional help may be needed.

3. Rekindle the relationship: Problems in the bedroom may or may not be indicative of larger problems in the relationship. If an honest assessment concludes that both partners are happy overall, says Dr. Watter, there is no shortage of advice on how to regain the feelings of emotional closeness that lead to heightened intimacy and sexual satisfaction. Consultation with a mental health professional is often necessary to unblock the obstacles that interfere with connecting.

It’s important to recognize that loss of libido and erectile dysfunction are not the same thing, says Dr, Watter, but they are often linked. Men with ED generally have normal sex drive but impaired ability to get or maintain an erection due to psychological, circulatory or nerve problems. Men with loss of libido have no erectile difficulty once aroused but their interest is diminished. However, experiencing repeated instances of ED can cause anxiety that may cause a man to shut down his libido to avoid the problem. Many cases of ED can be treated with medications such as Viagra and Cialis, says Dr. Watter, which can restore a man’s confidence and his libido with it. However, many times the psychological causes of ED will need to be addressed in addition to adding medication.

The myth about men’s sexuality that they are ready to have sex at any time in any circumstances just isn’t true for most men, Dr. Watter concludes. But it is almost always the case that the root cause of loss of sexual desire can be identified and overcome. Sometimes the best solution is to seek professional help. If medical issues have been eliminated as the cause, psychological counseling or sex therapy, either for the individual or the couple, can restore the emotional connectedness needed for a successful physical relationship.

For all college-bound teenagers, choosing the right school and planning how to pay for a degree are both exciting and challenging. For teens who have survived childhood cancer, the life-changing decisions about college can be more daunting, since proximity to medical care and acquiring disability benefits often are additional factors to be considered.

Recognizing the need for resources to help college-age cancer survivors, created a brochure, Making the Right Transition into College. The publication, available for free here on the NCCSs website, offers tips to young adult survivors on how to select a college, secure funding, obtain disability benefits, access medical care, maintain health records and find emotional support systems.

Pediatric cancer survivors face more than the normal choices when it comes to making college decisions, said Pam Gabris, coordinator of the NCCS Beyond the Cure program, which supports and educates survivors throughout their lives.

Some need to consider schools that are close to their homes and doctors. Survivors who have physical or cognitive problems caused by their treatment medications may need help identifying disability benefits. And some students may simply want to connect with other childhood cancer survivors with whom they can share the college journey. Our motivation in creating this publication is to give these young men and women all the information they need to make great decisions ahead of time, so that their college experience is fulfilling and they are successful at reaching their education goals,” said Gabris.

College also is a great way for childhood cancer survivors to regain some of the self-confidence they may have lost during treatment. Setting goals and going after them has a positive impact on both their physical and emotional health, said Jessica Cook, coordinator of Patient & Family Services at the NCCS. Thats why support systems are important. For 19-year-old Neha Kundagrami, connecting with other college-age survivors at the University of Maryland helped her adjust more quickly and feel more comfortable on campus. They showed me how to live again, said Kundagrami, now a sophomore pre-med student.

The brochure also provides information about students rights under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and gives tips for finding scholarships. The NCCS offers college scholarships through its Beyond the Cure program; information can be found online at beyondthecure.org/scholarships. There also are links to numerous government and private funding sources at college scholarships.org.

The mission of The National Children’s Cancer Society is to provide emotional, financial and educational support to children with cancer, their families and survivors.

A new study from Australia reported that gay teens tested positive for strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that can lead to either genital warts or anal cancer. Researchers already knew that HPV infections are common among gay and bisexual men, but less was known about infection rates in younger age groups … for the new study, Huachun Zou at the Melbourne School of Public Health and colleagues recruited 200 adolescent males, ages 16 to 20, who were attracted to other males. The participants were never vaccinated against HPV and had few sexual encounters. At four points over one year, the researchers collected three swabs from each participants penis, mouth and anal canal to test for HPV. Over that period, they found 48 definite anal HPV infections, 10 penile infections and no mouth infections. The researchers say the infection rates would mean that among 100 gay and bisexual males in that age range, there would be 57 new anal infections every year. (1) The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) recommends that HPV infected individuals take Novirin or Gene-Eden-VIR against the latent HPV virus. The formula of these natural antiviral supplements was shown to reduce HPV symptoms in two separate post-marketing clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines.

The formula of Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR was tested by Hanan Polansky and Edan Itzkovitz from the CBCD in two clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines. The studies showed that the Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR formula is effective against the HPV and other viruses. The clinical studies were published in the peer reviewed, medical journal Pharmacology &amp; Pharmacy, the first, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs. Study authors wrote that, individuals infected with the HPVreported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment with Gene-Eden-VIR. (2) The study authors also wrote that we observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms. (2)

Both products can be ordered online on the Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR websites.

Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR are natural antiviral dietary supplements. Their formula contains five natural ingredients: Selenium, Camellia Sinesis Extract, Quercetin, Cinnamomum Extract, and Licorice Extract. The first ingredient is a trace element, and the other four are plant extracts. Each ingredient and its dose was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists at polyDNA, the company that invented and patented the formula, scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals, and identified the safest and most effective natural ingredients against latent viruses. To date, Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR are the only natural antiviral products on the market with published clinical studies that support their claims.

Study authors estimated that there is a 50 percent chance of HPV passing from a mans penis to the anal canal of another. The risk of HPV going from anal canal to penis was lower, however. (1) Dr. Huachun Zou one of the study authors, wrote that the high incidence of HPV infections and the high probability of the virus being transmitted suggests a high vaccination rate is needed among young gay and bisexual men to achieve the same reduction in infections, genital warts and precancerous growths found among heterosexual individuals. (1) The CBCD reminds the public that while the HPV vaccine may prevent infection with certain diseases, it does nothing for those who are already infected.

As the Gardasil website points out Gardasil may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. Gardasil does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so future cervical cancer screenings will be important for your daughter. Gardasil does not treat cervical cancer or genital warts. Like other vaccines your child may have received, Gardasil works best when given before there is any contact with the relevant HPV types. (See the Gardasil website) (3)

Are there drugs that work against the HPV virus?

There are no drugs approved against the HPV. Current treatments include procedures, such as cryotherapy, conization, and the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP). These procedures use liquid nitrogen, a surgical knife (scalpel), a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, or electrical current to remove the abnormal growths caused by the HPV. These growths include cells that harbor the active virus. The procedures do not target cells with the latent virus. Since they do not remove the latent virus, these procedures only produce a temporary remission. (2) In contrast, Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR were designed to target the latent HPV.

We recommend that individuals infected with HPV take Novirin or Gene-Eden-VIR against the latent virus. The formula of these natural antiviral products was designed to help the immune system target the virus while in a latent state. Greg Bennett, CBCD

Formag INC is a Tokyo based company in Japan. They have launched a highly effective anti aging product known as “Collagen Supplement” for men and women in US and other countries. The sixteen-year-old company is known for improving health of Japanese men and women with their 100% natural Collagen Supplements. Now for the first time, they are offering a powerful anti aging supplement called Liquid Collagen Protein outside of Japan.

Initially, the product was restricted to Japan. According to Formag INC, they are looking to offer the same product in United States and other countries. Professor Yozo Ishidzuka, who exclusively works only for Formag INC has developed this supplement by the ‘Patented High-Pressure Technology’ required for producing this supplement.

Shop this product from here: http://puremarinecollagen.co.jp/shop/

Professor Ishidzukas Youth Elixir and Love water consist of 20 percent collagen concentration. Collagen is necessary protein produced within the human body. It is responsible for keeping your skin young, nails strong, insulated joints, and healthy hair. Collagen is a much talked about health supplement today as people spend great proportion of their income on staying young and beautiful. However, not many manufacturers have come up with 100 percent natural products and that is the reason for the success of this product.

Its important to understand the basics and principles at work behind the new anti aging product. According to recent studies on marine collagen, liquid form is found to be best. As scientists believe, while extracting, collagen may lose a few of its benefits unless it remains in its original form that is liquid. This liquid collagen is naturally present in fish. Japanese have been consuming seafood for generations, which is the main reason why they have higher longevity than their western counterparts. Formag INC has understood this, and hence, they believe their product needs to be made available not only in Japan but also to the western countries where it is more necessary.

In addition to collagen, the product has high absorption rate. The company states that the products quality is better than most of other similar products out there, a crucial factor for any health supplement. At Formag INC quality is a major priority. They manufacture the product in a controlled scientific environment in small batches. Such process enables them to employ strict quality control which is often missing with other marine collagen products.

Formag INC is well experienced and dedicated to offer ultimate health satisfaction. Since 1998, they have been serving people of Japan. People who have tried this product in the USA are impressed with its performance. According to testimonials, people have seen results within three weeks of its use. Their skin not only looks young but fine lines have been softened. As the testimonials suggest, the product looks promising and is definitely worth trying.

Each year, upwards of 1.5 million students go on spring break*, a peak travel season that poses many risks for college-aged men and women. The truth is that the spring break environment – however fun – can lead to negative consequences such as sexual assault, alcohol poisoning, serious injuries and more. This frightening reality is why SABRE is distributing its top 10 tips to reduce safety and health risks this vacation season.

While a safety mindset should be applied to every part of your vacation (alcohol-related or not), we know that binge drinking plays a significant role in spring break safety risks. In fact, 91% of parents think spring break marketing and drink promotions should be stopped but free or cheap alcohol access was an important factor in deciding to go on a spring break trip for two in five women**. Here are 10 tips to help drinkers and non-drinkers alike stay safe on spring break:

1. Arrive safely. Driving through the night to make it down to Florida or other sunny destinations is common for spring breakers. But the National Safety Council says traffic death rates are three times greater at night than during the day. If you cant avoid night driving, have at least one person stay awake to talk to driver.

2. Dont take chances at your hotel. Lock the doors, and secure important belongings like passports and wallets in the safe. SABREs door stop alarm is portable and can alert you if someone tries to break-in. Make sure its in your suitcase this spring break.

3. Be smart about who you give personal information out to; dont tell new acquaintances your hotel or room number. You never know who has innocent or dangerous intentions.

4. Make sure you know the name and address of your hotel or take a hotel business card out with you so you can give it to a cab driver. This is especially important if you dont speak the local language.

5. The buddy system it works! We do NOT recommend you leave a party with a stranger; its always best to take a friend with you. If for whatever reason you do leave without your friends, give them details about where youre going and when to expect you back.

6. Practice safe drinking take turns so that one friend in the group per night will plan on minimal drinking to look out for everyone. Other good habits: watching your cup or glass, and only accept drinks that youve watched get made or poured in front of you.

7. If you need help, ask for it. If theres an emergency dont rely on a bystander to call for help. Call for help yourself to be sure first responders or police gets the message.

8. Hydrate & wear sunscreen. Heat stroke and melanoma arent happy spring break thoughts, but too much time in the sun can leave you dehydrated with an increased risk of sunburns. Take your SPF and a bottle of water to the beach.

9. If traveling outside of the country, be sure to look up the address or contact information for the American consulate or U.S. Embassy in the country where youre headed. Be sure to tell friends and relatives in the U.S. of your travel itinerary and try to check in with them often.

10. Carry a small, practical, and easy to use personal protection tool like pepper spray or a personal alarm. SABRE Red pepper spray and SABRE personal alarms are legal to carry in all 50 states.

The global erectile dysfunction drugs market was worth $ 4.3 billion in 2012. It is expected to decline at an aggregate rate of 4.5% between 2013 and 2019, which means the market will be valued at $ 3.4 billion in 2019.

To browse through the research report, or to view the ToC, please visit: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/erectile-dysfunction-drugs.html

The report showed that Viagra (sildenafil citrate) by Pfizer held 45% of the global erectile dysfunction drugs market in 2012. Its majority hold over the market is predicted to decline after patent exclusivity rights expire in 2013 in Europe and other countries. Cialis (tadalafil) held the second-largest market share with $ 1.9 billion in 2012. Its patent exclusivity will reportedly expire in 2017, supplementing the decline of the erectile dysfunction drugs market by 2019. The same is to be expected from Levitra/Staxyn (Vardenafil) by Bayer, whose patent exclusivity is set to expire in 2018. The report explains that once the patents expire, the market will be flooded with competitive generic drugs with similar chemical compositions, reducing the revenue generated by the major players in the market.

Factors that might improve the growth of the erectile dysfunction drugs market are the approval of the new promising drugs Zydena (udenafil) and Stendra/Spedra (avanafil) in mid 2014.

By geography, the research report identifies the regions of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. The North American region dominated the global erectile dysfunction drug market in revenue created. It is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period.

Erectile dysfunction is a male inability to generate and/or maintain penile erection, for the sake of a fully successful sexual intercourse. It primarily affects men above the age of 40. Typical causes of erectile dysfunction are diabetes and hypertension, along with a host of common habits attributed to a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, excessive consumption of alcohol, smoking, use of recreational drugs, and use of anti-depressants.
